And USDA is blaming undocumented immigrants, trans people, and Democrats when it is all on Trump. Trump has an authorized $5B SNAP contingency fund he won't use because he wants to make people suffer to force Democrats to accept his terms. That includes children, veterans, active duty troops.

The rise in costs you’re feeling, it’s by design. Skyrocketing prices, government shutdowns, and fear mongering aren’t accidents, they’re part of a deliberate strategy to break our trust in government and keep power concentrated in the hands of a few.

Stop Trump, vote YES on Prop 50!

We also share suggestions on what anyone can do to support Proposition 50. Please share this with your networks.

First it was the Rose Garden and now it’s the East Wing. During the four years I worked at the WH it was a thrill and an honor to take my family and friends on private tours of the “People’s House .” This is just heartbreaking.

From a friend who was driving north on I-5 this am: “The five freeway will be closed today from noon until 3 PM to accommodate the live ammo demonstration from Camp Pendleton.” This is going to create a huge traffic jam since there is no detour around it. Why the f**k are they using live ammo?

Imagine if your child went to a concert & was taken hostage by terrorists after 400 of their fellow concert-goers were massacred & the world ignored your kid or celebrated his plight. There's so much bias against Jewish people & it's heartbreaking! #2yrsTooLong #LetThemGoNow Read Mindy's Substack⬇️

On this two year anniversary of the brutal October attack on Israel, let's see the last 732 days have taken us all.

Trump & Texas GOP moved first. Their politicians are rigging their maps to cheat, ignore voters & keep things in their favor. Now California must act. By Nov 4, voters choose our maps. (Ballots begin arriving October 6; vote YES on Prop 50 & return your ballot ASAP, no stamp needed) #YesOnProp50

These days it can be scary to stand up and speak out publicly, but it is vital that everyone plays a role in saving democracy. Here are some ways to speak out and stay safe.

Trust your doctor, not the President, with your healthcare decisions. 🩺

It’s far from certain that James Comey will be indicted After all, Jeanine Pirro struggled getting indictments in DC But even if charges are brought, given Trump’s tampering, a judge could still dismiss the case Because in America, we don’t decide guilt before determining if there’s even a crime

Their elected leaders won’t even free them, over the years they’ve turned down 5 opportunities to live in peace. It’s time you realize the truth and stop letting that movement destroy your country too.

Jews never left Israel. 1899 Colonize meant to set up a Jewish colony in our indigenous homeland. Not modern day usage of colonize. How do we know? At that time, the mid east was either French or British Empire. Brits didn’t establish an American colony, Jews re-established Israel.

Despite claims from Trump that the man who shot Charlie Kirk was part of a left-wing conspiracy, investigators find no evidence to back that claim. According to NBC News early Saturday morning, three insiders claimed they're "coming up dry", in searching for a link. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

They took away a woman’s right to choose Then they took equity from Black people Medicaid benefits from people of limited means Food from schoolchildren The right of Hispanic people to live without fear of persecution And now they want to take our First Amendment rights WE MUST FIGHT BACK

Do you know how many the right wing has and how influential they’ve been, in particular to young white males? We can’t have too many. We need to reach as many people as possible and if podcasts are one way, then let’s flood the zone with them.

Ukraine was attacked by Russia. Israel was attacked by Hamas. Free Ukraine from Russia! Free Israel and „Palestine“ from Hamas!

I wonder how many people here who are convinced they’re moral because they want to erase Israel understand what it is they want to replace Israel with.

And If you’ve got ten people dining with a Nazi, you’ve got eleven Nazis.

We will not stand back and let Texas steal this election. Vote yes on prop 50. For those of you who don’t know, prop 50 is temporary, their gerrymander is not.

This Is A Gigantic Lie, While They Are Creating An Informant File MAJOR BREAKING: Mike Johnson just claimed Trump was an FBI INFORMANT, tasked with taking down Epstein.😲 WTF?? So he want us to believe Trump did this while having private parties with young girls with Epstein for a DECADE? 🤣🤣

Check the facts #RFKJr! Facts tell the truth. You do not.

Shabbat Shalom/Gut Shabbos. Today marks 700 days since 10/7/23 and there are still 48 hostages being held in captivity in Gaza. I’m hoping against hope at this point that they are still alive and will be rescued so that the war may end. Take care of yourselves, Am Yisrael. Prayers up. 🙏🏼

Not content with having a total abortion ban and a law that lets citizens sue providers The Texas legislature today passed a bill banning outside sources from mailing abortion medication to its citizens The next Democratic president MUST declare a national emergency and restore reproductive rights

I guess all of us who served after 1945 served in a woke military, per Cadet Bone Spurs.

Mamdani is a perfect politician. Warm smile, great TikToks. He’s also a virulent Jew-hater, in that he wants to eliminate Israel and all its Jews with it. This is disqualifying, especially in a city with a 12% Jewish constituency. He can be defeated. #StopMamdani www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...
